It's Wednesday!...I can see the weekend from here!

Yet another week, almost gone, and so far it's been one of those weeks where nothing really got accomplished. As far as work goes, we've had a few slight set backs this week. Mostly meaning a couple jobs that were set to take, say, maybe 5 hours, but either took more or required a second day all together. It's disappointing, but it's a part of the deal.

My morning started off kind of upsetting this morning, because I actually had a new customer, whom we had made a repair for at her home, call and complain. Her home is about 150 miles from our business location. She was complaining because she didn't know she would be charged mileage. Excuse me? Since when does anyone call a company to come perform a service at their home and not know that you get charged mileage??  Especially a home that takes over two hours to get to! I've never met any company that absorbed mileage. Are we supposed to work for free? And why is it that every time someone has ever complained about a bill, it's someone who has more money that I can shake a stick at? It makes no sense. Of course, hubby does say that rich people are rich because they don't want to spend their money. Maybe he is actually right for a change.

Perhaps it's a plus that I did start a new book this week, in my spare time. Which, let's be honest, is about ten minutes before everyone else in the house awakens, and then maybe on a couple of powder room trips during the day. The bathroom can be my sanctuary at times. Even there it is complicated to find complete peace!

The book I started is by Billie Letts, an author out of Oklahoma. This book is called "Shoot the Moon", and so far, it is prooving delightful to read. If any of you watch Lifetime movies, then you are probably familiar with a move called "Where the Heart Is" with Natalie Portman. That was made after one of Mrs. Letts books.

I started my diet over again today, for the millionth time this year already. Hopefully, I'll have a little help now because I'm doing it with an online friend, so I am accountable to her daily as far as what I eat, drink, and whatever exercise I can muster out.

So, on to the end of the week. Bring on the weekend!

Til then!
